Could I be more thrilled with these next two responses to Everything Affects Everyone? No, no, I could not be.
It’s so full of beautiful & poignant surprises, I hesitate to describe this book at all for fear of ruining the prospective reader's experience. Just...do yourself a favour & pick up @ShawnaLemay's astonishing new novel! And check out this @ckuaradio chat:https://t.co/9E4cqJoXmJ

And then, if that wasn’t enough, Kerry Clare very generously shared a photo of my book on Instagram with some incredible thoughts on it as well. Click through to read the post in full, which ends:
“Everything Affects Everyone is wonderful and strange, rich and engaging, provocative and comforting, and filled with mystery and beauty. And what impressed me most about this book is how Lemay's entire oeuvre is an essential context for appreciating this book properly, the way it fits into and extends her ideas and philosophy, which is utterly original, and inviting, which you can't say about most things one might term a "philosophy."
I am obsessed with Shawna Lemay's obsessions, and the generosity with which she shares them, and the way that she can make me become vicariously obsessed with anything.
Even angels.
I really love this really weird book, which makes me even more fond of its wonderful author—if such a thing is possible.”
